Alex, we all hope these roster spots will eventually be filled with
something better. But, sorry, maybe KK and others on this list just aren't
sure how much better the replacements are going to be. McCarty and Popeye
got extensions, yes? Why? And concerning the Blazers, yes, before this year
they were considered a bunch of misfits with bad chemistry. However, before
this year they hadn't acquired Jim Jackson and Greg Anthony and didn't have
Damon for a full year. Hindsight is 20/20, but those three guys have made a
huge difference and I'd love to see Pitino pull off a couple of these moves
some day. He signed McCarty and Popeye to extensions...yes? Why?
